Nasty cabin
The cabin could not have been cleaned before i checked in. There was rat droppings on the counter and microwave. It was all over the pans in the cabinet. The toilet hadnt been cleaned in a while and the bedding had a smell to it like it hadnt been washed. The management didnt reply to my emails or even call me back. I wouldnt recommend staying here for the price i paid at all. I was highle disappointed.

Pleasant
Cabin was very clean. Nice view of the mountain and secluded. Roadway seems far away but there is a lot of noise when sitting on back deck,still a nice place. Cabin does have limited dishes etc. so bring paper plates etc if larger group. Was fine for four adults. Hot tub was nice, upstairs bed wasn’t very comfortable.cabin is not very private on the inside and you can hear every single sound made. Overall a nice stay.
